RoboCup@Home Education is an educational initiative that promotes educational efforts to promote access to modern technologies such as computer vision, speech understanding, or machine learning and to boost RoboCup@Home participation and service robot development. The aim is to narrow the technological gap between RoboCup Junior and RoboCup Major leagues. RoboCup@Home Education activities started 2015 with various workshops and competitions around the globe. The workshop audiences range from inexperienced high school students to freshmen in engineering programs at university level. In order to provide a soft start the competitions are blended with preparation workshops. Teams will be assisted remotely in preparation of the challenge with tutorials (possibly webinars) and assignment.
The hardware for the challenge is standardized.
Other ROS-based platforms will be also accepted.
Teams need to consist of 2 to 4 students lead by one mentor. We expect teams formed by undergraduate students in any European university.
